That was/is intended as a "TODO". What I think we are missing here is a
specification/authority stating "allowed vstor_operation for unsolicited
messages are: ENUMERATE_BUS, REMOVE_DEVICE, etc.". If we wanted to make
this code even more "future-proof"/"robust", we would reject all packets
whose "operation" doesn't match that list (independently from the actual
form/implementation of storvsc_on_receive()...). We are not quite there
tough AFAICT.

I wanted to make sure that we're on the same page: I could either expand
or just remove that comment line; no strong opinion. Please let me know
what is your/reviewers' preference.

Thanks,
Andrea
